Evidence for reductive carboxylation of succinate to synthesize alpha-ketoglutarate was sought in anaerobic heterotrophs from the rumen and from other anaerobic habitats. Cultures were grown in media containing unlabeled energy substrates plus [14C]succinate, and synthesis of cellular glutamate with a much higher specific activity than that of cellular asparate was taken as evidence for alpha-ketoglutarate synthase activity. Our results indicate alpha-ketoglutarate synthase functions in Selenomonas ruminantium, Veillonella alcalescens, Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Bacteroides uniformis, Bacteroides distasonis, and Bacteroides multiacidus. Evidence for this carboxylation was not found in strains representative of 10 other species.
在来自瘤胃和其他厌氧生境的厌氧异养生物中寻找琥珀酸还原羧化合成α-酮戊二酸的证据。将培养物在含有未标记能量底物加[14C]琥珀酸的培养基中培养,细胞谷氨酸的合成比细胞天冬氨酸具有更高的比活度被视为α-酮戊二酸合酶活性的证据。我们的结果表明,α-酮戊二酸合酶在反刍月形单胞菌、产碱韦荣球菌、脆弱拟杆菌、普通拟杆菌、单形拟杆菌、解淀粉拟杆菌和多酸拟杆菌中发挥作用。在代表其他10个物种的菌株中未发现这种羧化的证据。
